Description
The wait is over: after anvers (2003) and anvers2 (2007) Ulrich Lang will be launching his third fragrance called NIGHTSCAPE in October 2009.
A big fan of Patchouli, Lang wanted to develop a fragrance that contains Patchouli and feels like a scent that points to the future rather than the 60’s and 70’s vibes usually associated with the ingredient. Bye-bye, Flower Power: Nightscape is a sensual, mysterious and long-lasting scent with notes of Bergamot, “green” notes, a floral heart note of jasmine and geranium interwoven with cedarwood and a base of soft leather notes, musk, amber, tonka bean and patchouli.
Lang’s eclectic fragrances anvers and anvers 2 can be found in some of the best stores worldwide, such as Barneys New York and Departmenstore Quartier 206 in Berlin and are enjoyed by men and women alike. With Nightscape Lang continues his passion to create contemporary fragrances for a fine fan base.
In keeping with tradition, the company asked a new artist to interpret this fragrance visually. Carrying a small lab sample of Nightscape around with him, young American photographer Matt Licari hit the streets of his home town New York City and got inspired by the fascinating metropolis.
The result: an image that shows the magic of a glittering, vast city at night that matches what Ulrich Lang had in mind. Following portraits of Belgian Photography Dealer Roger Smulewicz photographed by artists Erik Swain and Katy Grannan for anvers and anvers 2, the cityscape at night works well with the pure yet sensual aura of Nightscape.
It reflects the cosmopolitan and futuristic scent which – so Lang hopes – will become a modern classic for the times to come.

This one has an interesting development. Nightscape opens with an extremely “clear” patchouli note that is surprisingly unaltered, considering how tame the scent is in the long run. The opening patch note is about as direct of a patch as I’ve smelled, for about 5 minutes. Really great opening.
As the heart approaches, the sharper green notes make an appearance to refrigerate the patchouli note and lend a definite soapy and sharp woodsy vibe to the scent. This is probably my least favorite phase, and is somewhat of a letdown after the excellent patchouli opening. However,this phase is unique among patchoulis and is well done – so this is just my personal preference.
In the base, the scent drops both the purity of the opening and sharper greens of the middle and becomes a comforting, very smooth skin scent of tonka and musk, with just enough of the original patch peeking through. Overall the scent is pretty minimalistic compared to the usual amber-infused patchouli fragrances, but this is intentional and effective. A worthy addition to the patchouli genre.

@scentnewbie. I’m a lady and I love this also. One of my favorite patchouli frags so far!

I’ve been sampling this and love it. Hadn’t realized it’s “for men” – any other ladies wear this?

This is an excellent fragrance, long lasting, very masculine. I don’t really get much patchouli, more leather but soft. One of my favorites and great for the price.

I love patchouli fragrances, as my skin eats up top notes in seconds, so dry downs are the all important test. A liberal application had faded within an hour, completely! Bring back Patchouli Pure (Fresh) – the only well balanced Patchouli I’ve tried.
